During the unveiling in November 2019, Musk said Cybertruck comes with armoured glass windows and an armored alloy body that will prevent smaller firearms like 9-millimeter handguns from piecing through.

But, during the demonstration of the vehicle’s armoured glass windows, the so-called unbreakable armoured glass on the Cybertruck, shattered after Tesla Head of Design threw a metal ball at it.

“Oh my fucking God, well, maybe that was a little too hard,” Must said when the front side windows shattered, and

“But it didn’t go through”, when the rear glass shattered.

He revealed that ahead of the unveiling :

“We threw wrenches, we threw everything, we even literally threw the kitchen sink at the glass and it didn’t break

“For some weird reason it broke now, I don’t know why.

“We’ll fix it in post.”
